build your own professional blog on WordPress within 5 minutes

There is a process that you need to follow to make your professional blog on WordPress. I am using Hostgator and Godaddy to explain you the whole process so that you can easily setup your blog within 5 minutes.

1. Buy Domain Name from Godaddy

The first step you need to buy a domain. Godaddy is the most Popular domain name Provider company. You can choose any domain name that you want. But your domain name should be similar to your site or blog name.

Put your Domain name that you want and choose the extensions like .com, .org etc.

Click on Search Domain Button and get your domain availability. If your Domain name is not taken by anyone then you can Select It.

Click on The Select button and then ok to Continue to Cart Button.

After Clicking on Continue Button you will see the following options.

You also see other options like select plans & create an email address that matches your domain. If you want any of them then select your options. otherwise, don’t make any changes and click on the Continue with these Options button.

As you click on Continue With these Optionsbutton you will land up on the Checkout page (See Below). Here you will see your final worth of your domain name.

Now Make your payment by filling out your card Information.

After that, you will receive an email from Godaddy which confirms that your domain has successfully Registered.

Choosing a better hosting is also a big sign of professional site. But I recommend you to buy HostGator or Bluehost hosting. these both are most popular hosting to manage your WordPress Site. Why am I recommending these web hosting? because these hosting companies provide you with the better control Interface and reliability. So you go any of them without any question. Now let’s get Started with Hostgator.

However, you are a beginner so I recommend you to choose the Shared Baby plan .Because this hosting Plan let you allow to host a huge number of Domain names to your single control panel. But in Case if you do not want to make more than one WordPress site then you can go for Hatchling Plan.

Add Additional Service panel (here Hostgator provides you with some other Services which you don’t need to buy. So please uncheck these options.You can buy these services after some time).

fill out the order form carefully. During the filling out, you have to Check following options.

Choose your domain name. If you want to buy a domain name from the Hostgator then you can select the register a new domain option. But here you can put your already existing domain that earlier you have bought.

Now Switch to Godaddy account and then go to My Products. Here you find the following options.

Click on First option Domain > Manage Button.

As you click on Manage button you will see your active domain name.That you have earlier purchased.

Click on the set nameservers option and copy the nameservers that you have earlier received in your email. Paste these nameservers in the nameservers settings.

Your Customize & professional WordPress blog is ready to Use. Now you need to Configure your Website.
